Chapter 712

Chapter 712

The assassins wanted to take action as soon as the wizard left his temporary residence.

The equipment prepared by the Special Operations Division was certainly useful, but it was more like a work equipment that could be prepared and used leisurely when the enemy was unaware of their existence. However, just like Noi Tanissa, the biggest reason was that they, who had learned and trained from him, were not obsessed with the equipment.

So, it is difficult to say that they did not properly recognize the seriousness of the situation and moved slowly.

The only time they wasted was to look at the internal design blueprint once more and remember it. They were in such a hurry that they even gave up on lighting a fire to burn the design.

“They’re all huddled together like cockroaches.”

Nevertheless, they had to face their target before they could even leave their temporary shelter. They could only make out the shape of a person through the faint light streaming in from the path they had walked on, and they couldn’t even see the face because they were wearing a helmet, but it was clear.

Warrior Eldmia·

“Only one person who sells out his colleagues faster than others will be saved on a first-come, first-served basis. Raise your hand.”

The five assassins, who saw him raise his other hand as if to urge a reaction while holding a sword dripping blood in one hand, pulled out the daggers they had hidden without a moment’s hesitation.

“It’s an opportunity that others don’t have, but even if it’s given to them, they can’t eat it.”

At the same time that he burst out in laughter as if he was dumbfounded, the warrior’s hand, which he had thought was simply raised, became blurry and two daggers flew in. No one understood that it was a trick that gamblers used when hiding their cards.

It was so fast that it was difficult to even extend the thought to that point.

But the assassins weren’t at the level of just taking it without paying attention.

-Chae-Ang!

While the three, almost instinctively sensing that the dagger was not aimed at them, ducked and leapt forward, one of them twisted his body and the other raised his dagger just in time to deflect the dagger.

Even though they were caught in an unexpected surprise attack, they are still assassins who make a living from surprise attacks. The three quickly regained their composure and ran through the alley in unison without saying a word, unleashing their magical power.

-Pfft!

At the same time, a hole appeared in the back of the head of the assassin who was running at the forefront.

Something that came out of the head twisted like a snake and stuck close to the wall, piercing the neck of the second assassin who was running. The third assassin saw this and adjusted his dagger, but what actually pierced his head was a new projectile.

It happened so quickly that if it were ordinary soldiers, they wouldn’t even be able to accept that their comrade was dead. However, the assassin who was at the back blocking the dagger that Eldmia had thrown at first was able to calmly watch all of this, quickly accepted the reality, and ripped off the pommel from the dagger’s handle.

My nerves, tense from the imminent death, begin to slowly accept everything in the world.

The moment when the assassin who had blocked the dagger while raising the dagger high in the sky in the midst of that identity that was not his identity dies and soon he himself finds himself in the same situation.

The assassin threw away even the instincts that arose from the desire to survive and took the actions that were instilled in him through education.

Even as an unidentified projectile destroyed his head and even burst his heart, his hand moved and broke the dagger’s blade. As soon as it did, something shot out from the handle and soared into the sky.

The only thing that bothered me was the pillar of light that rose again as they closed the distance.

“He’s completely crazy. Are all warriors like that?”

Noi, who suddenly realized that the pillar of light was the cause of the divine power that was suddenly taking hold of his body and the magical power that was suddenly starting to stabilize, sincerely stuck out his tongue at the inexplicable antics of widely spreading blessings and took out a dagger from his bosom.

It wasn’t Noi’s weapon. The dagger he received from the Special Operations Department, which he said was for tracking the dregs of the gods, trembled like a compass as soon as it came out of its scabbard and pointed in a specific direction against Noi’s will. Only then did he understand what the Special Operations Department had said.

“So that’s why they said that if you take it, you’ll learn how to use it.”

After confirming that he was pointing beyond the inner wall, Noi put the dagger on his waist, lightly released his fingers, jumped up, and began to climb up the empty wall with his bare body.

The climb that started like that was amazing. When the tip of one finger was placed on the crack in the wall, Noi’s body shot up like an arrow. Even in terms of speed, it was faster than ordinary people running on flat ground.

The climb, which took no time at all except for the occasional thought of where to stretch out, took only a few minutes, making the height of the wall seem insignificant. The process of Noi, who had climbed over the wall perfectly and then climbed inside while the soldiers on patrol were out of sight, also wasn’t much different.

What he overlooked was that the location was a garden located close to the library where the thoughts of the gods resided...

“If you come any closer, I will cut you down.”

···The fact that Cheryl, who guarded the library at Eldmia’s request, did not know that it was a place where she spent time swinging her sword alone or thinking.

“What the world, how come you don’t even make a sound?”

It was extremely unfair from Noi’s point of view. It was not just that he didn’t know about such personal circumstances, but he was clearly paying attention and yet he didn’t recognize the girl. It was unfair.

He never let his guard down or let his guard down. No matter how relaxed he was, he had to do his best when it came to work because it was related to his reputation.

No kidding, he didn’t even ‘realize’ that girl was there until just now.

Wasn’t there just a sword lying around? Was it magic?

Although he spoke playfully, Noi’s mind was spinning more furiously than it had since he arrived in Levien.

“I won’t tell you twice”

Cheryl, who had been speaking softly with an expressionless face that was infinitely calm, just adjusted her grip on the sword she was holding and took a stance. Then, apart from the surprise, a mockery began to hover over Noi’s face.

Even so, isn’t this something that you can’t help but laugh at and let down your guard a little?

From the moment he stopped screaming at the sight, the girl’s life was already in his grasp. However, he confidently fixed his weapon and aimed it at himself, so it was so dark in the place where he was standing that he wondered if he couldn’t see the horn.

I prefer not to kill anyone other than the target, but I have no choice.

“Can’t you just pretend I didn’t see it?”

It is not good to spray the scent of blood, so I approach and break its neck. After deciding to do so, I move a little bit to make it let its guard down.

Cheryl’s sword swung without warning and cut through the space.
